Doctors operated on Roethlisberger’s right meniscus, a source familiar with the situation told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. It was the same procedure that was performed in 2005 on his left knee, which has been injury-free since. Roethlisberger missed four games that season but came back to lead the Steelers to their fifth Super Bowl title.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are close to finalizing a restructuring of Ben Roethlisberger’s contract and expectations are that negotiations will be completed by the end of the week, a source told ESPN’s Ed Werder.
